FAYETTEVILLE — The five athletics directors for the state of Arkansas’ Division I programs released a joint statement Tuesday in support of raffles that could be conducted at their games.
The letter was signed by Hunter Yurachek at Arkansas, Jeff Purinton at Arkansas State, Frank Cuervo at Arkansas-Little Rock, Chris Robinson at Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Matt Whiting at Central Arkansas.
“As intercollegiate athletics continues to evolve, it is more imperative than ever that universities and colleges competing within Arkansas have the resources necessary to compete and win within their conferences and nationally,” the ADs wrote. “We must continue to identify innovative ways to generate support for the college athletics programs at all levels within our state while remaining aligned with our educational missions.
